Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie (PTUK) has achieved notable progress in the QS World University Rankings: Arab Region 2025, rising to fifth place among Palestinian universities, one position higher than the previous year, when it ranked sixth nationally. The University also maintained its position among leading Arab universities, securing 122nd place despite an increase in the number of participating universities in this year's edition. This achievement reflects PTUK’s continued efforts to strengthen its academic and research reputation.
PTUK President Prof. Hussein Shanak expressed his pride in this achievement, describing it as “the result of perseverance and the collective efforts of all members of the University community.” He affirmed that PTUK is steadily advancing towards greater international recognition, stating: “We are committed to strengthening our position in regional and international academic rankings.”
Prof. Shanak added that these positive results demonstrate the commitment of the University’s administration and community to advancing scientific research and enhancing the quality of education, with a direct impact on students’ future prospects and competitiveness in the labor market. He also expressed his appreciation to the University’s Rankings and Academic Reputation Committee, as well as its various departments and deanships, for their efforts and collaborative work.
He further noted that PTUK is continuing to implement comprehensive development strategies aimed at improving its academic and research performance and expanding its network of cooperation with regional and international universities, in pursuit of its vision of academic and scientific excellence.
Prof. Dr. Shanak explained that, despite the difficult circumstances in Palestine and the growing challenges facing the higher education sector, PTUK has managed to make tangible progress in a ranking that included more than 246 Arab universities. This achievement demonstrates the University’s ability to compete despite increasingly challenging conditions.
He also pointed out that the QS ranking is based on a set of rigorous criteria, including teaching quality, the student-to-faculty ratio, academic reputation, employer reputation, scientific research, and citations per research paper. PTUK has improved its performance across several of these indicators in recent years, contributing significantly to its progress in the ranking.
It is worth noting that PTUK President Prof. Dr. Hussein Shanak attended the ranking conference alongside dozens of presidents of Arab universities, where the results were announced. The QS Arab Region Rankings are among the leading international rankings assessing universities across the Arab region.
